Webb’s in Connecticut
From Braintree in the Massachusetts Colony, Samuel
Webb (Sr.) moved his family in 1707 to the small town of Windham Centre, just
recently carved from the wilderness in north-eastern Connecticut. Soon thereafter, some of his siblings,
cousins and relations followed and the became a family important and
influential to the community. Even
prior to Samuel’s migration, his cousins had relocated to other points in the
new territory of Connecticut, several living in Fairfield County.
According to J. A. Vinton : on 29
January 1706-7, Samuel Webb of Braintree purchased of Thomas Huntington of
Windham, for £233, the fifth ‘home-lot’ at Windham Centre, with the
one-thousand acre right belonging to it (...in the end the land only totaled
about 300-400 acres). There was, at the
time, a house on his home-lot, and an apple orchard on his farm. The house was situated on the west side of
the ‘town street’. It was the second
lot north from that of Cates, the first settler, and the second lot south from
the centre lot in the village; the lots being twenty yards wide on the street.
